Ingredients
- 200 grams rice noodles (or any low-sodium gluten-free noodles)
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1.5 tablespoons chili garlic paste (low sodium)
- 1.5 tablespoons sesame oil
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar or rice vinegar
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 cup broccoli florets or other vegetables (optional)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted roasted peanuts or cashews (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos, chili garlic paste, sesame oil, and vinegar. Stir well to combine and set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add a small drizzle of sesame oil to the pan, followed by the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
If using vegetables like broccoli, add them to the skillet now. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Step 5
Lower the heat slightly and add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and toss everything together to evenly coat the noodles.
Step 6
Sprinkle in the red chili flakes, adjusting the quantity to your spice preference. Continue tossing and cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat everything through.
Step 7
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and (if desired) unsalted roasted peanuts or cashews for added crunch.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Sodium Spicy Garlic Chili Noodles!
